Ingredients

  • 1.5–2 lbs chuck roast (or protein of choice)
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 pouch SOMOS™ Birria Taco Simmer Sauce
  • 1 cup beef broth (or chicken or vegetable broth)
  • 2 packs Sun Noodles (Kaedama)
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sliced radish, lime wedges, soft-boiled egg, chili crisp**

Prep

  1. Sear the Meat: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned (about 2–3 minutes per side).
  2. Pressure Cook the Birria: Transfer seared meat to an Instant Pot. Add SOMOS™ Birria Taco Simmer Sauce and 1 cup of beef broth. Seal and pressure cook on high for 45 minutes.
  3. Shred the Meat: Remove the meat and shred it using two forks. Return shredded meat to the birria broth and stir.
  4. Cook the Noodles: While the birria rests, cook Sun Noodles according to package instructions. Drain and divide between serving bowls.
  5. Assemble: Ladle the hot birria broth and shredded meat over the noodles.
  6. Top It Off: Garnish with cilantro, radishes, lime, soft-boiled egg, or chili crisp for extra flavor.

Pro Tip: Let the birria sit in the broth for a few extra minutes after shredding—this helps soak up even more flavor before serving.

*Can also cook in a crockpot on high for 3-4 hours (or low for 6-8 hours) or on stove top on simmer for 1.5 - 2 hours on low heat.
